    Health Nerd Retweeted Nate Silver

    Dunno, I reckon it's more embarrassing to be this big of a public douchebag AND absurdly wrong in public at the same timehttps://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1340363906590650370 …

    Health Nerd added,

    It's also pretty embarrassing for the public health profession that it's largely outsiders like me and @zeynep and @mattyglesias who are **actually looking at the scientific evidence** and pointing out these obvious problems and that there aren't more critiques from within.

        Ever since his statistical models have predicted a few elections accurately, he's veered into political opinion and other areas outside of his expertise. Sort of a corollary of Nobel Disease.

        The biggest eye-opener the pandemic has given me is shining a massive light on the narcissistic journalists who all of a sudden think their “research” skills are better than that of, well, medical/scientific researchers.

        I dipped into the comments for some absurd reason and of course it quickly fell into fat shaming.

        Is there an issue with ACIP using 65+ as an “elderly” cutoff here? It seems like you could plausibly address a higher risk (and smaller) group of the *very* old early on

        being absurdly wrong is something Nate has a penchant for if I recall :D
